Muslim anti-genocide activist Ani.Says is one of the most hounded humanitarian campaigners by the Starmer regime, for her effective campaigning for the rights and survival of the Palestinian people – and she was arrested again earlier this month by the Met Police. However, it’s now emerged that Gal Gadot is also going after her – or rather, the Met Police are doing it for the actor.
Gal Gadot is going after UK anti-genocide activists
In a video announcement on her Instagram page, she has told her followers that she has the Israel lobby pursuing her directly and is being prosecuted by ‘Z-lister’ Israeli Hollywood actor and former IDF soldier Gal Gadot under Thatcher-era anti-union law for ‘besetting a workplace’:
And in an update a few hours later, Ani said that six other activists are being hounded in the same way:
As the Met admitted at the time, “five people were arrested for harassment and offences under Section 241 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act which deals with wrongfully and unlawfully obstructing access to a workplace. Two of the arrests relate to incidents at previous protests while three relate to offences that took place today”.
Solidarity from us
As the Canary previously wrote, yes Gal Gadot may be Israeli. But the protests were because she once served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. Previously, Reuters reported:
Gadot served the IDF for two years, a stint which included participation in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war, which Lebanon gave as its reason for banning the “Wonder Woman” movie starring Gadot when it was released in 2017, the Washington Post
Gadot also claimed it was “unfair” that her movies were being boycotted because she supported Israel.
But there’s a difference between being Israeli and supporting a nation perpetuating violent settler colonial Zionism and working for a genocidal army.
The Canary sends its solidarity to the Gal Gadot 7 in this extension of the Zionist lobby’s war on UK citizens’ free speech and protest rights.
In case you’re lucky enough not to be familiar with Gal Gadot’s performances yet, here’s a short video of her ‘best’ lines:
